Slightly  imperfect. 

The  first  book  printed  in  English  in  North 
.^merica.  The  version  of  the  Psalms  was  made  about 
the  year  1636,  the  principal  divines  of  the  country 
each  translating  a  portion.  The  principal  part  of 
the  work  was  committed  to  Mr.  Richard  blather, 
minister  of  the  church  in  Dorchester,  who  probably 
wrote  the  preface  also,  and  to  Mr.  Thomas  Weld 
and  Mr.  John  Eliot,  associate  ministers  of  the  church 
in  Roxbury.  The  work  of  printing  was  completed  in 
1640,  and  the  new  Psalm  book  was  adopted  at  once 
by  nearly  every  congregation  in  the  colony  of  Mas- 
sachusetts Bay,  and  for  that  reason  it  came  to  be 
known  as  the  Bay  Psalm  book.  Of  this  famous 
book  there  are  only  ten  copies  known  to  be  extant, 
of  which  only  four  are  perfect.

"The  following  extracts  are  from  a  poem  entitled 
Democracy,  the  first  canto  of  which  was  printed  in 
New- York,  in  March.  1794,  and  at  the  time  excited 
no  inconsiderable  share  of  the  public  attention. 
This  poem  was  written  in  consequence  of  a  tumultu-

by  a  few  popular  demagogues,  for  the  purpose  of 
prescribing  to  Congress  the  adoption  of  hostile  meas-

was  of  much  greater  length,  was  prepared  for  the 
press  immediately  after  the  appearance  of  the  first,

young  girl  to  whom  he  had  engaged  himself  against 
the  wishes  of  his  parents  whose  objections  were,  want 
of  property  and  education.     Her  name  is  lost.

"A  free  parody  of  the  Lay  of  the  last  minstrel 
The  production  is  principally  devoted  to  satiriz- 
ing the  predatory  warfare  of  the  British  on  Chesa- 
peake Bay,  and,  what  is  somewhat  remarkable,  was 
published  in  a  very  handsome  style  in  London  with 
a  preface  highly  complimentary  to  the  author.  The 
hero  is  Admiral  Cockburn,  and  the  principal  incident 
the  burning  and  sacking  of  the  little  town  of  Havre 
de  Grace  on  the  coast  of  Maryland.  It  had  at  that 
time  what  might  be  called  the  distinction  of  provok- 
ing a  fierce  review  from  the  London  Quarterly.  It 
is  clever  as  a  parody,  and  contains  many  passages
